Walter Gaffney
Kessell has illustrated 18 children's books for Little Brown &
Co., Harper & Row, Harcourt, Brace & Javonovich, Farrar
Straus & Girioux and others. For many years he worked as an art
director for advertising agencies in Connecticut, New Hampshire and
Maine. Though he found his work rewarding, Mr. Kessell, born in
Regensburg, Germany in 1954, decided to free himself from the
pressures of corporate deadlines and pursue his love of
painting.
Says Mr. Kessell, "A clock was always ticking in
the back of my head, telling me that I'm running out of time and to
take precious moments to observe simple things...a reflection in a
window, a shadow, an expression, a sound or simply quiet. I feel
that if I do not allow these things to reveal themselves to me, they
will disappear. So, painting then becomes a way to hold on to them."
Mr. Kessell now lives in Maine with his wife and four children,
where he continues to paint and illustrate children's books.
